Notes / Commercial Description:
Enjoy Poolside or Sprinklerside. Breck Brew's SummerBright is the result. The craftsman's touch combines white wheat, two row pale and munich malt with the pacific northwest's most intriguing hops to create a bright, clean ale ideal for picnicking, evenings on the screen porch and enjoying the whims of the summer breeze.

Looks murky yellow in color. Cloudy. Thin head that dissipated.
Smells of wheat funk and little else.
Tastes good, but one dimensional. Classic wheat funk with a malty finish that doesn't last long.
Feel is light to medium, carbonation is lower than expected. Feel thins out at the finish

12oz bottle poured into a pilsner glass. Pours a clear yellow (with a faint orange tint) with a one-finger white head. Substantial carbonation gives the beer a sparkling approach, with trails of bubbles rising off of imperfections in the glass. The nose is very malt-dominated - distinctly lager- and wheat-beer-like. The flavor profile (after a long day of climbing) leans more towards the crisp lemon peel. Sampled late-afternoon with more discernment for the more granular points of the palate, the malt body dominates, and leaves the orange-peel and lemon-peel behind. Solid medium malt-based body. It's certainly an inoffensive beer, and one that does well after a day of activity outdoors. A great beer-and-pizza brew, but not one that holds its own in the tasting glass.

Wish I would have had this one while by the pool instead of looking out at the snow, but it set me back to Summer, that's for sure. Great color, good fragrance and a smooth feel when going down the pipes. Not too heavy and one I will get when May 1st hits. Nice!
